I got this bug, but could not fix it with the remove career cheat. The sim in question did not leave for a gig when it was scheduled at the same time as her partner's acting gig (and I clicked "Join" when prompted about the partner's acting gig.) She then was unable to either go to the odd job or cancel it using the cancellation button. When she tried to cancel, she would get a notification saying that the client was disappointed in her flaky behavior, but the odd job was never actually canceled. She then went through an entire shift at her work, and still she was stuck at the odd job. She has also traveled to another lot, and still no fix.
Edit: I'm playing on a Mac, so this may be making a difference between whether or not the cheat fix above works.

I did turn testingcheats on at first before typing in the remove career code, but that did not fix the problem. I prefer to avoid mods, and feel like if this is still happening, and all that needs to cause this bug is to schedule an odd job at the same time as starting a shift in an interactive career, this should be addressed by EA directly, you know?

I was experiencing this issue with an odd job and used the Careers.remove_career oddJob cheat.
Just wanted to pop in and say that this resolved my issue. The odd job was removed and she is no longer stuck with the "At Work" bug.
November 2020
Odd Jobs no longer get stuck in a state where Inventory and Build Mode cannot be accessed.
Fixed in Patch 1.68.154/ 1.33
If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.
Good Luck
